As of 13 August 2026, AI can negotiate your salary after a UK job offer.

What to actually do

1. Use a tool built for this

   The route this page recommends

2. Do it yourself

   Second choice

   A chat interface, no skill needed, and roughly 30 minutes until you can act on the result.

   How to actually do it

   1. Open the written UK job offer and copy its salary, bonus, benefits, holiday, probation, notice period, working pattern and acceptance deadline into a separate note, removing confidential details that are not needed.
   2. Gather your relevant achievements, qualifications, responsibilities, current package if you choose to disclose it, other genuine options and the conditions that matter most to you.
   3. Decide privately what you ideally want, what you would accept and which terms could be traded, such as salary, title, flexibility, holiday or a review date.
   4. Paste the offer details and your evidence into the prompt, then ask the chatbot to separate facts, assumptions and questions that still need answering.
   5. Check any market or employment claim against a current reputable UK source, and remove claims that cannot be verified rather than repeating them as leverage.
   6. Ask the chatbot to turn the agreed position into an email and a short phone or meeting script, then edit the wording so it accurately reflects your experience and does not disclose a minimum you want to keep private.
   7. Send the request to the recruiter or hiring manager, record their exact response, and ask for any revised salary or terms in writing before accepting.
   8. Compare the final written offer with your minimum acceptable package and the chatbot's checklist, then accept, decline or make one final clear request yourself.

   Prompt

   Help me negotiate the salary and total package for a UK job offer. Use only the information I provide and clearly label anything that is an assumption. Do not invent market figures, benefits, policies or legal rights. Do not give legal advice.
   
   Role and employer: [role and employer, with confidential details removed]
   Written offer: [paste the salary, bonus, benefits, holiday, probation, notice period, working pattern and any other terms]
   My relevant experience and evidence: [skills, achievements, qualifications and responsibilities]
   My target package: [what I would ideally like]
   My minimum acceptable package: [the lowest package I would accept, or say that I have not decided]
   My alternatives and deadline: [other offers, current job, interview pipeline and response deadline]
   My priorities: [salary, flexibility, title, progression, holiday, pension, bonus or other priorities]
   Relationship and communication: [recruiter or hiring manager, previous conversations and whether I will use email, phone or a meeting]
   
   Produce:
   1. A short assessment of my negotiating position, separating facts from assumptions.
   2. A sensible target, opening request and fallback options without inventing market data.
   3. Three specific points I can use, tied to my evidence and the role.
   4. A concise UK-English email requesting a discussion, followed by a phone or meeting script.
   5. Responses to likely replies, including no budget, a request for my minimum, and a revised offer.
   6. Questions I should ask about any unclear bonus, benefits or conditions before accepting.
   7. A final checklist of every factual detail I must verify in the written offer before agreeing.
   Keep the tone calm, direct and professional. Do not encourage bluffing or threats. Ask me up to five essential questions first if the information is insufficient.

   Open it prefilled in ChatGPT or Claude, or copy it into Gemini, which takes no prefill link.

3. Hand it to a person

   The distant third

   A person who owns the outcome does this end to end, worth it when the failure is dear.
